3dm / STEP / STL / dwg accepted • No minimums • NDA-friendly
Get parts that look premium in-person and on camera — smooth surfaces, crisp detail, and finishing options like paint, polishing, electroplating, and clear resin. Perfect for client approvals, hero props, display pieces, and showroom-ready mock-ups.
Agency timelines move fast. We help you hit deadlines with rapid prototyping, quick revisions, and 24-hour express for print-ready 3D files (eligible jobs). Clear lead times, realistic expectations, and proactive communication.
Need 20, 200, or 2,000 giveaways? We can support low-volume production runs with consistent quality — without tooling, no MOQs, and cost-smart recommendations so you get the best mix of speed, quality, and cost for the audience and budget.
Marketing teams move fast — and you only get one shot when the camera’s rolling or the booth doors open. Whether you’re building PR event props, packaging mock-ups for client approvals, or a hero display model for an exhibition, KAD3D helps you turn concepts into physical assets that look premium and present professionally.
We produce high-detail 3D printed parts for props, prototypes, display models, signage elements, and event giveaways — with finishing options like paint, polishing, electroplating, and clear resin to elevate the final look. From one-off pieces to consistent low-volume runs, we guide you toward the best mix of speed, quality, and cost based on the audience, budget, and deadline.
Our local Australian manufacturing removes overseas delays and last-minute stress, with fast turnarounds available — including 24-hour express for print-ready 3D files (eligible jobs). If your files are ready, we can move quickly. If they’re not, we’ll review them and set realistic expectations so you can deliver with confidence.
When you need something bold, branded, and built fast, we produce custom props and display pieces that look great on camera and in-person. This includes product-launch props, branded desk pieces, podium items, signage elements, and themed display objects for PR events and pop-ups. We’ll help you choose the best mix of speed, finish quality, and cost, then elevate the final result with finishing options like paint, polishing, and electroplating where it makes sense.
Give clients something they can hold — not just a render. We create high-detail prototypes for packaging and product concepts so your team can validate form, scale, shelf presence, and overall presentation before committing to tooling or mass production. For premium visual prototypes, SLA is ideal for smooth surfaces and crisp detail, and we can support clear resin looks where transparency matters. If you’re still iterating, we can produce quick versions first, then refine the finish once the design is locked.
For booths, showrooms, and launch displays, we produce accurate models and centrepiece assets that present professionally under lighting and at close viewing distance. This can include hero models for display cabinets, scaled product showcases, and modular components that are easier to transport and assemble on-site. If the creative direction changes late (it happens), we can update parts quickly and keep the project moving without waiting on overseas suppliers.
Need consistent giveaway items for events or campaigns? We support low-volume production runs without tooling or MOQs — so you can launch small, test engagement, and scale up when you’re confident. We’ll guide you through materials and processes to keep unit costs sensible while maintaining repeatable quality across the batch. The goal is to avoid overspending on features your audience won’t notice, and focus your budget on the details that actually drive perceived value.
The print is only half the job — finish is what makes it look “campaign-ready.” We offer presentation-focused options like painting, polishing, electroplating, and clear resin aesthetics (where suitable) so your props and prototypes look premium, clean, and intentional. If you’re unsure what level of finish you need, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective pathway first, then step up only where it meaningfully improves the final look on camera or in-hand.
Send your model or brief and we’ll review it for printability, surface expectations, strength needs, and deadline feasibility. If your files are already print-ready, we can move quickly — including 24-hour express for eligible jobs. If not, we’ll flag issues early and set clear expectations so there are no surprises late in the timeline. You’ll always know what’s possible, what’s risky, and what the best next step is to hit your deadline with confidence.
For marketing teams, the “right” process comes down to one thing: what will deliver the best visual impact by the deadline, without wasting budget. At KAD3D, most marketing projects are best served by FDM (fast + cost-effective) and SLA (premium finish + detail). We’ll guide you to the best balance of speed, quality, and cost depending on whether you’re building quick prototypes, campaign props, exhibition display pieces, or consistent giveaway runs.
FDM (Fast + Cost-Effective)
Best for: PR event props, larger display elements, quick prototypes, and bulk giveaways where speed and unit cost matter.
FDM is ideal when you need parts produced quickly and reliably — especially for bigger items or batches. It’s a strong option for branded props, signage components, mock-ups, and giveaways where durability and turnaround are the priority. If needed, we can still elevate the look with post-processing and finishing so it presents professionally.
SLA (Premium Finish + Detail)
Best for: packaging mock-ups, product prototypes, display centrepieces, and anything that needs to look premium up close or on camera.
SLA is the go-to for smooth surfaces, crisp edges, and high detail — perfect when the piece is being photographed, presented to a client, or displayed under lighting. We can also support clear resin aesthetics where transparency matters, and finishing options like paint, polishing, and electroplating (where suitable) to deliver a true “campaign-ready” result.
Other technologies (when needed)
We also offer processes like SLS/MJF (nylon) and SLM (metal), but for most marketing briefs they’re not the first choice. They’re typically used when the project demands production-grade durability, a more “manufactured” feel, or a true metal finish — which can add time and cost without improving the visual outcome for standard props, mock-ups, or giveaways. If your brief genuinely benefits from them, we’ll recommend it, but in most cases FDM and SLA deliver the best mix of speed, finish quality, and cost for marketing work.
Bottom line: If you’re optimising for speed + cost, choose FDM. If you’re optimising for finish + presentation, choose SLA. And if you’re not sure, we’ll recommend the best option after reviewing your brief.

Every successful campaign piece starts with the right material. At KAD3D, we recommend materials based on the outcome you care about most — presentation quality, durability for handling, turnaround time, and cost per unit (especially for giveaways). Most marketing jobs are best suited to FDM plastics and SLA resins, because they deliver the strongest balance of speed, quality, and cost.
This approach helps marketing teams hit the right balance of speed, finish quality, and budget for each campaign — with consistent, production-ready results and clear expectations from day one.
At KAD3D, finishing is where campaign pieces go from “printed” to presentation-ready — and for marketing work, this is mainly applied to SLA parts, where surface quality and detail matter most. Whether it’s a hero prop for a PR event, a packaging mock-up for a client pitch, or a premium display piece for an exhibition, we use the right finishing method to lift the look and feel — without adding unnecessary time or cost. The goal is simple: a result that looks premium in-hand and on camera.
By pairing SLA + finishing for premium presentation, and using FDM where speed and cost matter more, we help marketing teams hit the best balance of speed, finish quality, and cost — with clear expectations from day one.

Not every marketing job starts with a perfect 3D file — and that’s exactly where KAD3D makes life easier. Whether you have print-ready files, a rough concept, or a reference item, we help you get from idea to a polished, presentation-ready result with clear expectations around finish, timelines, and budget.
When projects need customisation, premium finish, or repeatable results, we typically run in two simple phases:
Phase 1 —CAD Creation & Finish Planning
We capture your requirements, create (or refine) the CAD file, and recommend the best approach for the right mix of speed, quality, and cost. We’ll confirm scale, key details, and the finishing level needed for a “camera-ready” result.
Phase 2 — Printing, Finishing & Quality Check
Once approved, we move into production using the most suitable process (mainly FDM or SLA). Every part is checked for key dimensions and surface quality, then finished where required (mainly SLA finishing) and shipped Australia-wide with consistent results for repeat orders.
For clients with print-ready 3D files, we can skip straight to Phase 2 after a quick technical check — including 24-hour express for eligible jobs.
Send your 3D file, reference images, or a simple brief. We’ll confirm what it needs to look like, how it’ll be used, and when you need it.
We create or refine the CAD file for your concept, ensuring it’s designed for print, presentation, and repeatability. You’ll receive a preview to confirm scale and key details before production.
We review the final model, confirm materials and finishing level, and align on lead time and expectations so there are no surprises.
Parts are produced (mostly FDM/SLA) and finished as required — especially for SLA pieces needing a premium surface.
We check key dimensions and surface quality, then pack and ship Australia-wide so your assets arrive ready to present.
At KAD3D, marketing projects are quoted based on size, finish level, quantity, and deadline — so you only pay for what you actually need. From fast FDM props and giveaways to premium SLA presentation parts, every quote is tailored to hit the right balance of speed, finish quality, and cost.
For marketing teams, the biggest price drivers are usually surface finish (camera-ready vs basic), quantity (one hero piece vs a batch), and turnaround (standard vs express). If you’re not sure what level of finish is worth it for the campaign, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective option first and step up only where it meaningfully improves the result.
For custom/NDA briefs, we quote via email so we can align on expectations and avoid surprises. You’ll receive clear pricing with what’s included — plus realistic timelines based on the process and finishing required.
Lead times depend on process, complexity, and finishing — but we design the workflow around agency deadlines. For most marketing work, typical lead times are:
FDM parts: usually ~3 business days, with a 24-hour express option available for eligible, print-ready files.
SLA parts: usually ~1–2 weeks, depending on size and finishing (paint, polish, clear finishing, electroplating where suitable).
If you’re working toward a fixed event date, tell us the deadline up front. We’ll confirm what’s realistic, recommend the best approach for the timeline, and keep communication tight so you’re never guessing.
Local pickup only available in melbourne, and next-day courier to metro areas are available. We also ship Australia-wide.
No MOQs—we’ll make one-offs or batches. Minimum order value is $55.
